<p style="margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I heart of broken blades on original one piece 6 blade fans which are special items for hotter climates, but not with the ordinary two piece 4 blade fans.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0px 5px 0px 0px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Friends some 10-20 years ago installed BMW 5Series plastic fans. Some reconed cooler water temperatures. I am still happy with the original fan blades and when I can get one of them I buy it and keep it. Its the same with original oil filter cases. I see no big improvement changing to cartridge ones. Or changing original generators for alternators. I think its for those who like to play with their cars. Often this causes more troubles than they had before.</span></p>

<div dir="ltr">Correct me if I am wrong here, some owners removed the original metal fan blades because of the possibility of breakage, they then replaced it with a plastic "Texas Cooler" that also breaks because it was possibly made in China or by someone who was at some point the lowest bidder for the job. I think one is better off to stay with the original ones, they are no worse, that's for sure. <br>In many cases the original was replaced in order to keep the car cooler in warm southern climates. <br>I don't live in very warm climate such as Texas or Arizona but it can get pretty hot in summer, I installed a four core radiator, an original style sleeved thermostat and put back the original blades after sanding them, checking for cracks and repainting them then check them every three years, been OK for the last 24 years, I'll stick with that. <br><br>Jean<br><br>
